Coconut Oil

Benefits and Use:

Cold-pressed coconut oil is often used for skin and hair care due to its moisturizing properties and potential benefits for the skin and hair. 

• Moisturizer: Coconut oil is a natural moisturizer that can hydrate dry, irritated, or flaky skin. It can be applied directly to the skin as a lotion or used as a carrier oil to dilute essential oils.

• Anti-ageing: Coconut oil contains antioxidants that may help to protect the skin from oxidative stress and prevent signs of ageing, such as fine lines and wrinkles.

• Acne treatment: Coconut oil has antibacterial properties that may help to reduce the growth of Propionibacterium acnes, a type of bacteria that can contribute to acne.

• Healing: Coconut oil may help to soothe and heal minor skin irritations, such as cuts, scrapes, and sunburns.

• Hair conditioning: Coconut oil can be applied to the hair as a deep-conditioning treatment to improve the health and appearance of the hair. It may help to nourish the scalp, reduce split ends, and improve hair elasticity.

• Dandruff treatment: Coconut oil has antifungal properties that may help to reduce the growth of yeast on the scalp, which can contribute to dandruff.

Caution: 

 Coconut oil is LIKELY SAFE when applied to the skin or hair appropriately.

Self-life: 

Since it is unrefined, cold-pressed & chemically-free oil doesn't have a long shelf-life so you have to buy just the required quantity. Opened bottles are more susceptible to microbial contamination. It should be stored in a cool, dark place to prevent it from going rancid.
